An armed carjacking involving two Jewish men as victims occurred On Motzei Shabbos in Crown Heights.
The terrifying incident took place near Crown Street and Kingston Avenue at approximately midnight. The two perpetrators approached the victims’ vehicle from behind, displayed a firearm, and demanded that the victims exit the car while leaving their phones and keys inside. The victims complied and the perpetrators then fled the scene with the vehicle.
The victims contacted Crown Heights Shmira and 911 as soon as it was safe to do so.
The coordinated effort between Shmira and the NYPD resulted in the vehicle being located unattended in a nearby area, where evidence was collected.
The police department is actively investigating the carjacking, with assistance from Crown Heights Shmira.
With violent crime on the rise, it’s important to remain alert of your surroundings at all times.
In case of an emergency, call 911 and Shmira 24/7 at 718-221-0303.

Boruch Hashem that the men’s lives were spared, and that they were not hurt, and that that they even got their car back!
Also watch living Torah from motzei shabbos
Wow !!! Interesting!! Isn’t it!
The crime in Crown Heights is getting out of hand! We need to get these people off the streets. It was bad enough when they would steal phones and other items, but now they have dangerous weapons. This is insane!
We need to go back to old school and protect ourselves
This is the second time in a few weeks. Didn’t shomrim locate a car previously that had been carjacked at gun point?

Police located them from last time but lost them in a chase. These guys are armed and dangerous. Community council making any changes due to violent criminals roving our beighborhood taking advatage of us?
Why isn’t every Jew in crown heights carrying a firearm?
We need to step up and see what’s going on around us.
The police can’t protect you in situations like this.
Enough is enough!
You think a fire fight will solve the problem?
Once these animals see that we aren’t a target anymore YES I DO
Please call 911 (and pray). Forget Shmira, Shomrim, and any other of these unarmed jokes.
